The thing about life is I don’t think there’s just one overlaying statement for all of humanity We ask “Why?” but I don’t think we realize that, truly, out of nearly 7.4 billion people, there cannot possibly be an answer as to why we all exist. There cannot be one simple statement to define the reason as to why every single person of this race, our race, exists, because everyone has a different reason for it. Or maybe that’s the answer Maybe the answer to “Why?” is “Because there are 7.4 billion different reasons.” Maybe it’s just that everyone has their own answer to why. I remember I used to think that the reason we all existed was because the only other option was to not exist. But I think it’s not that simple, modern humans aren’t so primitive and instinctual anymore, our sixth sense has been forgotten somewhere, dormant in our genes, our very DNA. The most modern **** species, **** sapien sapien, is a far more mentally evolved being from the first **** species. And because of that, our reasoning for living has evolved with us. There are, indeed, 7.4 billion answers to “Why?”, but I think that’s the overall answer for our species. “Why?” “There are 7.4 billion reasons. Mine is ________.” Nonetheless, life is a beautiful thing. Find your reason. And, maybe, just maybe, make it something a little more than existing just because the only other option is not existing. :;,

7.4 Billion Reasons.
